The thing with Ebola is that it spreads very slowly. Even in dirt-poor Africa where custom dictates you basically take a bath with the corpse of your dead relative and people believe you catch Ebola by saying the word "Ebola", it has taken like a year to go from 1 to 10,000 people. If we start to see a real outbreak here, we'll have time to train our health care professionals. And we'll probably scale the level of our training to match the risk. If you want to be pissed at the CDC, be pissed that they told the second Ebola nurse that it was cool for her to fly with a slight fever.
